The chairs have laboratories with modern equipment and instruments. Training involves modern remote and Internet methods. The faculty graduates (surveying engineers) are multidimensional experts to work in design, scientific and research establishments connected with land management as well as enterprises and organizations involved in economic and legal activities in land relations. They are engaged in allocation of land for enterprises, public organization and for individual construction, farming; execute and issue ownership documents, arrange proper utilization and preservations of land. Engagements of expert economists and managers are directly connected with formation of a general model of the real estate market involving various entities and individuals such as property owners, property funds, receivers, investors, real-estate banks etc. Real estate agencies, investment and insurance companies, exchanges, auctions, bidding and tender commissions and other participants of real estate market need the experts.
